750w enough?

[Cerberrus27]

Hey guys was just wondering if my 750w power supply is enough or if I need to go higher to like a 850w

Gpu: 3080 ti Evga ftw3

Cpu: ryzen 7 3700x

Ram: 32gb 3200mhz

Fans: 3x 140mm, 5x 120mm

Monitos: 1x 144hz 1440p, 2x 1080p 75hz

Depends on the brand and model. Even some 1000w PSUs fail to power a 3080 Ti.

Depends on the brand and model of the PSU! You can't buy some random 750 or 850w for a 3080 Ti but there are a lot that fail with that GPU.

It's not a bad PSU for a budget build but i wouldn't use a budget orientated unit with a high-end GPU. The fan of the PSU is gonne be really loud.

 

You have it, just try it. It doesn't harm anything if the PSU shut down.

I don't know how the CX Series would hold up to an RTX 3080 Ti, but someone here might.

Oh.. the "non-M" version you linked is actually fine.  If it was the CX750M, I would be more on the fence.
